Defending Olympic Champion v defending World Champion. Who takes the Gold?
I’m glad I wasn’t judging this one.
1 ZANETTI Arthur BRA 6.800 + 9.066 = 15.866
2 PETROUNIAS Eleftherios GRE 6.800 + 9.033 = 15.833
3 AIT SAID Samir FRA 6.700 + 8.800 = 15.500

The Olympic Rings final should be awesome.
Only 6 men competed 2 vaults to get into the Final. Dragulescu, for example, did only 1 to save his energy for Team qualification.
1 VERNIAIEV Oleg UKR 15.333
2 DALTON Jacob USA 14.853
3 RADIVILOV Igor UKR 14.649

Scott Morgan 4th with 14.450.
My Dutch friends are pretty happy with this Beam podium.

Isabela ONYSHKO was 4th. The wonderful Sofia GOMEZ 5th. An excellent final even without the legend Ponor, who withdrew.

Sun Wei has been racking up the travel miles. He’s recently competed American Cup, UCIC and Test Meet despite not being on China’s A-team. Superb routine on horse today.
1 SUN Wei CHN 6.500 + 9.066 = 15.566
2 OROZCO John USA 6.400 + 8.666 = 15.066
3 HIDVEGI Vid HUN 6.200 + 8.500 = 14.700

Often Pommels is the most competitive final. Not today.
Oleg fell … twice. Filip Ude … fell. 😦
On the bright side, Orozco made himself even more invaluable to the U.S. team scoring 15 on their weak apparatus and hitting 6/6 in the AA. In Rio.
1 SEITZ Elisabeth GER 6.600 + 8.533 = 15.133
2 SCHEDER Sophie GER 6.400 + 8.633 = 15.033
3 ANDRADE Rebeca BRA 6.000 + 8.433 = 14.433

Gabby JUPP (GBR) could have contended but missed. A very strong final.
Rebeca was awesome. And very relaxed. Coming back from injury, I won’t be surprised if she upgrades before the Games.

In an era of chucking huge difficulty regardless of the landing, Behan is a throw back to the days of Kyle Shewfelt. Elegance and control.
Kieran Behan’s dream weekend in Rio has been capped off by claiming a silver medal in the floor exercise at the Aquece Rio test event at the HSBC Barra Olympic Arena.
Behan and compatriot Ellis O’Reilly secured qualification for Rio 2016 at the weekend, with O’Reilly becoming the first Irish woman to qualify for the Olympics in the sport. …
A National hero to 1.3 billion people back home. 🙂
1 KARMAKAR Dipa IND 14.833
2 CHUSOVITINA Oksana UZB 14.716
3 LITTLE Emily AUS 14.383

Dipa’s Handspring double front was better than in the prelims. Definitely not a zero vault.
Under current FIG rules I’d say the ranking of the top 3 was fair. WTC did not address how to more severely evaluate dangerous deep landings. They should. There is too much incentive to “chuck” the Prudnova.
That said, Dipa is great on this apparatus. Her 2nd Kasamatsu (like Tsuk double twist) was one of the best vaults at Test Meet.
Dipa will inspire many tens of thousands of kids to try the sport.
